TL;DR Summary

A pregnant woman in Kentucky has filed a lawsuit challenging the state's near-total abortion ban, arguing that it violates her rights to privacy and self-determination under the state constitution. The plaintiff, who is about eight weeks pregnant, seeks class-action status to include others who want to have an abortion in Kentucky. This is the second legal challenge in days to sweeping abortion bans that have emerged in multiple U.S. states since Roe v. Wade was overturned. The ACLU and other activists are supporting the lawsuit, arguing that these bans have caused harm and are seeking to restore abortion access in Kentucky.
